Thanks for the ideas, Jeremy. For my application, users will be rating services and will fill out a form that includes several text fields, a textarea, a dropdown, and so forth. They need to rate this service based on multiple criteria with a star-rating control for each criteria. I want star-rating controls that fallback to plain html dropdowns like the jquery-rating plugin does.
For this reason, I'm not sure that using AjaxFallbackLinks is the best solution. I don't want the user to lose any input into the text fields, textarea, dropdowns, etc. Maybe there would be a way to do it using AjaxSubmtiLink, but I don't think that it has Fallback capability for users without JS enabled. Plus, I don't want the feedback panel appearing if they chose to rate before completing other required fields in the form. If you have more ideas, I'd certainly like to hear them!
